The Ghanaian FA’s executive council has approved a new refereeing structure.
The new structure is aimed at ensuring that the association fully implements the FIFA regulations on the organization of refereeing in member federations, the FA said in a release.
It is also to ensure the separation of personnel in the various functions of refereeing in Ghana, to facilitate the consolidation of gains achieved so far and to strive for new heights.
The new structure includes a referees committee, match review panel, assessors and classification panel, and a refereeing department featuring different personnel serving on each function of refereeing to drive for more effectiveness and a speedy response to complaints by clubs.
According to the release, the FA intends to roll out a comprehensive refereeing development program to recruit and train referee assessors, instructors and referees for Futsal, beach, women’s and grassroots soccer.
“The GFA will continue to invest in referees by providing the requisite equipment to aid their work,” the release said. Enditem
